Kaplan university is indeed the worst school in America. Everyone, please avoid going to that school because they only after your money. I withdraw from school over a month ago I was told because I attended class for one day they will charge me $2,000. most schools give you 6 weeks to withdraw from a class without charging a fee. Kaplan charges you money for one day of school. This is a very bad school they police and financial aid needs to close it down.

I finally got my financial aid after 93 days!!! Kaplan DOES NOT offer direct deposit. They still only send out checks in 2015!! Their financial aid is processed by a SEPARATE company. This school was a nightmare experience. I've since transferred to California Coast University and pay cash for school since its so cheap. No more debt for me. Im tired of that debt trap.

@CabriniGreene I have no experience with Kaplan Uni Online (KUO): but I think I get the concept of what is going on. Hopefully this will help you break it down. 1. Kaplan Uni Online is exactly what they say : ONLINE. Most country's laws require you to have atleast some physical address and they probably do : it goes straight to their lawyers. If they do have a physical address, it might be only for show. Or they might actually be renting a (huge) PO BOX to get and process all their mails. 2. Making everything online has some advantages and some disadvantages. KUO is definitely on the bottom of the online disadvantages heap. What do I mean ? EVERYTHING IS OUTSOURCED. Outsourced traditionally meant that these jobs are sent overseas. Nowadays, outsourced means you allow someone else to run it for you and you collect a check from them. 2. KUO outsources everything. The check collection is done by a different company for KUO. The phone calls are attended by people sitting @ home . (All these work from home ads arent just popus on your computer, some of them do employ people). This is why you say " people who attend the calls are not even Councillors". THIS IS TRUE. They employ anyone they can . Then they give you a "packet" with information and instructions on it. Hopefully these people READ the information (which in itself is not complete / not written by an expert). Sometimes, they also employ overseas. (Any service that says they are 24/ 7 have some aspects of their calls going overseas), especially if you call during after-hours.If your call lands in an overseas country (mostly asia) , it will be difficult for them to understand the concept of the govt. subsidization, since these countries rarely have governments that subsidize/ cut a check. They don't understand the procedures and policies (even in the US, every state has different laws) and thats when you get an INCONSISTENT ANSWER. Lack of information, Lack of information about changes to the current setup, lack of information as regards to anything apart from "standard" information (like you said : information I can read about myself) are some of the disadvantages running the entire thing online. 3. Most online universities are a shame and KUO is no exception to the rule. They generate a ton of profit from outsourcing these to "work from home : experts". If they outsource it physically to a different country : then they stand to profit from the exchange currency rates. They have also figured out that most people who do an online university course are one of the following a. Can't afford to pay boarding or tution to finish a degree @ a physical (as you say" brick and mortar place), b. Can't afford to leave their current job because they have obligations (family, kids, sole earning member) and who wouldn't like to have a degree to their name. c. There are also two types of degrees: one that is "scholastic" in nature, and one that is "vocational" in nature. A vocational degree is one that provides you with a degree and skills that will help in "immediate employment" . Eg: learning MSOFFICE, as opposed to doing a masters in Number theory. (it provides you will immediate employment opportunities). Most online universities cater to the "vocational" education types , what they don't tell you is that they educate you for a vocational professional, but cannot get you a job. These degrees can only ADD to your "wings" if you are already there.( to your point : sometimes you have to take the long way instead of the shortcut). 4. Let us compare McDees and KUO. McDee does not own all the burger joints representing it. It FRANCHISES it out to someone. This person pays McDee a certain amount every fortnight /month : and they get to keep the rest of the profits. What are the advantages? : 1. McDees has very little investment here. Their money is safe. The franchises pay them whether or not they earn (it has never come to that , but even if it does it will be no problem). 2.They centralize their menus , uniforms etc, site decor etc, so every place looks almost the same. "UNIFORMITY".3.They can share "best practices" with other franchises (meaning if one franchise has had great success with getting customers in , say, on an event like "freaky friday " or "double or nothing Saturday" , they will use this learning and incorporate it in other places. Disadvanges: 1. McDees will not entertain govt. checks, WCs, checks or any alternate form of payment other than cash or card. 2. they know their audience. They appeal to the "cost is more effective" strategy. Why have one burger when we give you two burgers for the price of one and a half burgers. This is a strategy employed to sell you more than you need. The same thing that coke/ pepsi employs to get us guzzling down a 2 liter bottle , when all we wanted was just a large coke. More profits for them, bigger waistline for us : pants don't fit :new clothes, we buy more than we want , not saving enough, more issues with health (the list goes on). Do you see a difference between McDee's and KUO? I don't. Well : they havent' started with "twofers" yet , but thats just around the corner. .. Good luck.

I am a 2010 graduate of Kaplan University I had the same financial aid situation you mentioned in the video plus on top of that some reason every quarter of the school year there somehow wasn't enough financial aid to cover it and my account was put on lock down until I mailed them at least 1,200 dollars each time including graduation I had to pay the 1,200 in order for them to send me my degree which came UPS and was in a flimsy package and was damaged on the corner of the degree but lucky the paper of the degree itself wasn't damaged it was the protective cover that got damaged other than that I enjoyed the class room experience although in order to access the class room I had to allow pop ups on the computer and my brand new laptop got a total security virus making it a piece of junk and I had a computer shop look at my computer and the virus was linked to Kaplan student Website

I never went to Kaplan but many years ago, I took their training program to prep for the SATs. I noticed that the questions and methods of teaching don't meet up to par with the actual tests. The practice SAT exams through Kaplan doesn't really give you enough preparation for the real thing when the time comes.

As a graduate of Kaplan University, I will say that the actually classroom experience is pretty good. From what I've heard from people at other online universities it is on par with their classroom experience. It's unfortunate to hear situations like yours but from my experience I did not have this problem. Having gone on to a bigger name ,not for profit, university I will say that the knowledge I gained at Kaplan, now named Purdue University Global did prepare me for Masters level education at a much faster pace. One thing that I will say for people starting school or going back at for profit schools is to be mindful of not only school accreditations but the degree accreditations. If you are going to a school for a certain degree make sure that degree is accreditated as required for that career. My experience is from the business degree side so Purdue University Global is accredited ACBSP while much bigger not for profit schools are AACSB. Neither one in this situation are bad but they do require to different types of teaching methodologies so be sure you understand if and what you schools accreditations are.

My advisor and the one who enrolled me (Michael Hadjis and Josh Shane) are the best. I have no issue whatsoever. The financial aid department is not as energetic but they get the job done (in my case). I'm about to finish my first term studying MM150 and CM107 (math and writing). I'm doing very well and expect to get A+ on both. If you are someone who like to study on your own and always prepare before classes, this is the right place for you.

I'm currently doing online classes for Nutrition and they told me it was accredited in the beginning of the year. I'm currently in my second term and at first they told me I owed them only $300 something at the end of the year out of pocket but now they say I owe $700 something at the end of this term and my next term and most likely after every term. They also approved my mom for a parent loan that I used for a new laptop, programs on it, a new printer, so I don't have enough money to pay those fees. But part of that loan they said wasn't supposed to be disbursed to me anyway and it was a "system error" but I still am responsible for paying the fees. I'm currently looking into another school and transferring. Good thing I had another year at another college and only completed 2 classes so far just in case those 2 classes don't transfer. My mom was the one who looked up the reviews of the school last week and found out that it had a 1 star rating and everyone had the same issues with the school. It took a month and a half for the school to even figure out my financial aid, after talking to about 20 people because they kept giving me the runaround and kept giving me different answers and dates as well for everything I asked about.

they do not disburse until after the funds have been received and gone to pay for your education. The funny thing is that all the people that seem to have bad reviews never speak on the education.
